Chapter 59 Finalized
In China, it is a place where seniority is considered very important.

The same is true for filming and directors, but due to the age gap between the directors, or the different eras in which they live, the directors are divided into generations.

Zhang Yuan is the earliest in the sixth generation, Zhang Yang is relatively late, and there are Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye, Lu Xuechang, Jia Zhangke and so on.

Together they are known as the sixth generation of directors.

Most of them were born in the 70s and 90s, and grew up in the [-]s to [-]s. They have no memory of the times, but they are affected by the times.

The transformation of the economic system in the society from the 90s to the [-]s brought severe pain to the society, and movies began to enter people's lives from the so-called sacred art, and began to become popular and reduced to a cultural consumer product.

In this group of directors of the sixth generation, they are either extremely pursuing the ontology of images, or are paranoid about realism, paying attention to grassroots people, or are firmly on the commercial route. It is almost difficult to build the spirit of the film as a whole like the "fifth generation" unified appearance.

Therefore, they are a generation that resists generalization, and their main creative ideas and spirits are "rebellion and reflection".

Compared with Zhang Yuan's stubborn obsession with realistic forms, Zhang Yang is much better. Although the same eyes are on the grassroots, the fundamental starting point is completely different from Zhang Yuan.

Among other things, Zhang Yuan has been banned from directing since the beginning of filming, and every film can only be circulated in private. Although Zhang Yuan can be regarded as a successful film businessman, he has never lost money. I have spent money, but I can't broadcast my works in my own country. This has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

However, Zhang Yang took a different path from Zhang Yuan. From the beginning of his creation, Zhang Yang established his own path. It is still a film creation that is close to reality, but it can avoid the restrictions of the world. , and knead~knead it into your own style.

Well, in the words of some people, Zhang Yang belongs to the kind who was recruited in the sixth generation, who is in the system, the imperial court eagle dog.

However, this did not hinder the communication between them. After Zhang Yang decided to use Li Sheng, he called Zhang Yuan immediately, and Zhang Yuan was also taken aback.

To tell the truth, Zhang Yuan didn’t think much about Li Shengzheng at first, he just felt that someone helped him, treat him to a meal or something, and then he told Li Sheng that Zhang Yang was going to make a movie with a twitch, and recommended him go try it.

In fact, Zhang Yuan didn't think Li Shengneng could pass by at all. Why, the opponent was too overbearing!

Hey, that's Jiang Wu, Jiang Wen's younger brother, he's a veteran who has honed his debut for ten years, and you're a poor student who hasn't made it out of the ivory tower. ...

In fact, Zhang Yuan is also preparing his own film recently. It is in cooperation with the film studio and the film channel. It is called home for the New Year. This is Zhang Yuan’s compromise after he was banned from directing for nearly ten years. If you make this film, When I unban you, the general meaning is the same as when I was having trouble with my friends when I was a child.

If you don’t talk to me first, I won’t talk to you either. Zhang Yuan is in such a fucking situation right now. He has already accepted the offer, but he is still reluctant to open up. How hypocritical!

Closer to home, Zhang Yuan felt that Li Sheng had no chance, so although he recommended it to Zhang Yang, he still reserved a role in his play, thinking that Li Sheng would be drawn to him after being rejected. Not much, that's not a joke, but in the end, Zhang Yang called before the day came.

Zhang Yuan didn't think he had such a big face to make Zhang Yang choose Li Sheng, so he immediately called Li Sheng. Hearing what Li Sheng said, Zhang Yuan could only say that Li Sheng was lucky. Yes, you can buy lottery tickets.

Think about it too, if Li Sheng never wanted to experience life, if he hadn't gone to Huaqing Pool, or if he hadn't gone to Huaqing Pool, then he wouldn't know Lao Li, if he didn't know Lao Li, he wouldn't know Li Ding, if Without Li Ding, he would not have met Zhang Yang in advance. If Li Ding hadn't yelled to listen to my sun, Zhang Yang would not have made the decision in advance to let Li Sheng play this role.

Of course, it's still the same sentence, there are no ifs in life, only results and consequences, at least now that Li Sheng has got this role, that's enough.

In the afternoon, Huaqing Pool started film business. Li Sheng and Lao Li cleaned up the place and sent Li Dingbaba to the car. Then they went back to the bathhouse and started to work. Until midnight, Li Sheng helped Lao Li clean up the bathroom. Close the door, eat a bowl of supper before going home.

I have to say that taking a bath is really hard work. At least tonight, Li Sheng has no other ideas at all. He just wants to go to bed early, and he falls asleep after taking a bath and getting into bed.

The next day, in the morning, Li Sheng finally met Zhang Yang, the director of the play "Bathing" under the recommendation of Zhang Yuan.

In fact, Zhang Yang and Li Sheng are also somewhat related, because Zhang Yang was assigned to work in Beijing Film Studio after graduation in 92, and Nortel is the son of Beijing Film Studio. There is a certain limit in the number of films produced each year, so most of the directors who are temporarily employed in Beijing Film Studio will also go out to do private work.

Unlike Zhang Yuan, who is talkative, Zhang Yang is somewhat reticent. The place where the three met was Beijing Film Studio.

When Zhang Yuan and Li Sheng arrived, Zhang Yang was lying on the table writing something. Seeing them coming, Zhang Yang didn't say too many polite words, and directly pushed over a document.

"I have a general understanding of your situation with Brother Zhang. Fifteen thousand is not a high price, but it is not a low price either. You can think about it, okay, let's sign it, and this matter is settled like this, no , we can discuss it, if we can’t discuss it, we will break up.”

Li Sheng was taken aback by Zhang Yang's straightforwardness. Seeing Li Sheng's attitude towards him, Zhang Yang was a little surprised, and explained, "It's only natural to get money for filming. I like to divide things clearly. I don't like being influenced by material things in movies." , After negotiating the salary, I can focus more on filming."

Li Sheng nodded. That's true. As Zhang Yang said, although the price of 5 is not high, it is not too low. On the way, Zhang Yuan talked to Li Sheng to the end, and Pu Cunxin and Mr. Zhu Xu just took Li Sheng paid [-] yuan, but the popularity and acting skills of the two of them are not comparable to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng pulled over the contract, took a rough look at it, found nothing missing, and when it was done, he took the pen and wrote his name on it.

Seeing that Li Sheng signed the contract so readily, Zhang Yang softened his attitude a lot, and smiled at Li Sheng, "Don't mind, I'm just like this!"

"Leave a call!"

"Hey, here's the script"

"Yesterday you sang my sun in Huaqing Pool was really good, I am looking forward to our cooperation."

After Zhang Yang took back a contract from Li Sheng, he handed Li Sheng a stack of bound printing paper. Balabala said something, and then sat down and continued to write.

Zhang Yuan took it for granted, shrugged at Li Sheng, pulled him up and left.

When they arrived at the parking place, Zhang Yuan lit a cigarette for Li Sheng, and the two leaned against the car to light it, chatting for a while.

"Work hard, boy, I am very optimistic about you!"

Li Sheng smiled, "I'll have to take care of Zhang Ge in the future."

"Huh? This car is yours?" Zhang Yuan asked suspiciously when Li Sheng opened the car door and threw the contract and script in his hand on the passenger seat.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Li Sheng looked at Zhang Yuan suspiciously.

"Isn't it Cherokee?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Li Sheng scratched his head, "That's for a friend, uh, it's not open today."

Zhang Yuan turned around the car and looked up at Li Sheng.

"You're dishonest. I know this car. It belongs to Yu Feihong."

"What's your relationship?"

PS: This is yesterday. After the subject, I ate dinner outside, drank alcohol, and fell asleep when I came back. I woke up at 01:30, and my head was dizzy. Now I understand what it means His face was dumbfounded, it was a mess, it was a mistake to drink.
